Vintage Candles

This has a lot going on for me :) I stamped the background with some text and then sponged over top with distress ink, using a darker shade to sponge the edges. I placed my harlequin stencil over top and sponged more ink and then coated it with glass bead gel ... hard to see in the photo, but the diamonds are very shiny and reflective.

I stamped the candles, fussy-cut and then coloured with Copics. I added a little glitter to the flames to make them sparkle. A sentiment was stamped in dark brown at the top to finish the card.

I hope you'll find some time to play along with the challenge if you haven't already done so. Lots of inspiration in the gallery --- come check it out!! :)

Loll, this is stunning card. Before I opened it, it looked as if the poinsettia and candles were staging for the photo. Wow! That candle is colored to look as if it is burned down and you can see the light from the flame from outside. I love this card. It's a wonderful mixed media. I have been searching for my Gelli plate since Sunday....never used and lost. DUH!

Well you do "a lot" really well Loll! I love this card!!! The script background is awesome, I love the harlequin stenciled over and the glass beads on top, I bet it looks amazing in real life! Your candles are colored and fussy cut so well and I love where you placed your sentiment. This card is perfecto!! Hugs, Brenda
